This Husky
Attachment 74876
I see, not page 9 then.
What a lovely gun!
What is the asking price?
$300.0
Damn MSL , wish I was smart enough to have thought of that
It is a beautiful Rifle Svaro
Yes it is
If you held it you be even more impressed.
I can't use it were I live (scare the living crap out of the neighbours for 2 miles)
Bought it to take to Russia - but that not going to happen now for 2 years at least
Worth 4-5k Euro over there. Mind you - those chaps who hunt Boar drives are super rich and just like to show off something that their mates don't/can't have :thumbsup:
Good luck
Key is to keep impact velocities high as most projectiles are designed for heavy game and are fairly stout therefore expansion is an issue. Certainly don't want to try shooting anything below 1800fps.
The speer 270's are quite soft and do alot of damage as you have seen.
The privis also are reasonabley soft but hold together well on deer.
If you did chop the barrel it would be a 150yd gun.
I just chronographed my various 9.3x62 ammunition on hand.
22" Blaser R93 barrel magna-ported.
Leupold MK4 1.5-5
PRVI 286 grain reloads 2250 FPS average
Lapua mega 286 grain Factory 1949 FPS average !!!!
Swift A-Frame 300 grain reloads 2126 FPS average
The purpose of this was to pick up some long lost data and work out the MIL corrections to be able to use the reticle of my Leupold MK4 1.5-5 SPR reticle scope.

The 9.3 is zeroed for 100m and I wanted to be know the values and hold over to be able to use the 2.5 MIL marks and clearly marked 5 MIL circle, 10 and 15 MIL marks.
Obviously this is a close range set up and mostly I just stick the circle over things and shoot.
But I would like to know where the projectile " might land " a little further out.
Its a nice light rifle to carry with the short barrel and big hole through it, its my lightest Blaser / barrel /scope combination by far ... so its lively !!
The factory Lapua mega's were astonishingly slow and noticeably softer to shoot.
I got 100 Swift A-Frame's cheap a few years ago and they are very accurate and seem to at least open well enough to get the job done despite being way over kill.
Has anyone got the numbers on the Factory PRVI 286 grainers that Gunworks are selling ?
They are so cheap that its not worth reloading.
Probably off on a tangent but do any of you guys use cast bullets in your 9.3s, Im looking for a few to try in an old cape gun in 9.3x 70 R
@Mart Henry shooternz sells them, Check on trademe, he usually has them there.
@Sarvo hope when you go your not flying into St Petersburg. Saw the other day that all firearms are banned from coming through that port:oh noes: just thought I'd give you the heads up. Make sure you take really warm boots and gloves you get very cold while standing waiting during the drives. I ended up buying some cheap snow boots as my feet went like ice blocks on my last driven boar shoot and that was only in France. Good only knows how cold it gets out there!
Liked the second utube video of all the close calls. Ha when they come in man they come in fast! Most of the guys I shoot with in France do so over open sights our have quick detach mounts as each drive is different. You can be standing in the thick stuff for one and in the open for the next.
Hope you get out there.
I'd like to try Turkey as being a Muslim country the general population don't touch boar as it's a dirty animal so they get very BIG.
Oh love the rifle!
Oh another thing to be aware of is there regs for legal game bullet weight.
Pretty sure with that canon you will be fine though :thumbsup:
Cheers for that
I know all about Russian winters.
More than likely be Hungarian Boar - but yes many Russian regions too.
I don’t think I will be taking the rifle now - as it won’t be going at least for 2 years (we used to go every year)
That calibre is also very popular in Germany and Austria.
I would just love to see the guys look at that customized Husky - they love to have something that their mates can't have.
Anyone on here been to Kamchatka region hunting ??
(Russia - above Vladavostok)
I've come to this thread a bit late and haven't read the last twenty pages so excuse me if I repeat what's been said.
I use a 9.3x62 barrel on my Blaser R93.
Shooting 320 grain Woodleighs at around 2150 fps.
Test shot on a big Rusa saw him go about 20 metres after a broadside heart explosion.
Took the set up to Zambia for first time Buffalo hunt as intended.
First Buff was head on chest shot. Buff staggered about five metres and fell over dead. Range was about 60m.
Next Buff was another head on but from about 140 m. He ran, fell, got up and staggered to a tree where he sat down very sick. Finished him off to be humane as he was dying.
Hartebeest was again facing and chest shot saw him run about twenty metres loosing all his hydraulic fluid on the way !
Love the heavy for calibre moderate speed approach. Quality bullets helped.
Love the calibre.
Nice, there was story on Africahunting recently about a guy shooting 2 giraffe with his 9.3x62. He had no issues.
I picked up some of the PRVI Partizan 9.3x62 285 grain ammo last week.
$36 / 20 =$1.80 per round so pretty good value compared to reloading.
Average velocity 2229 FPS in my 22" Blaser barrel
Factory quoted velocity 2263 so bang on considering my shortish barrel.
Grouped around 30mm and that is with the limitation of the 5 power maximum with 1.5-5 scope.
Makes the very expensive Lapua 286 factory ammo only doing 1949 look pretty flaccid !
Now need to re zero as 60mm high at the moment.
Then check the 275m hold over calculated for the 2.5 MIL hash mark and Im off to blow a big hole in something tasty.
Not sure if anything discussed earlier but want to start load development for my CZ 550 FS.
I use 2209 in my 6.5 Creedmoor and 7x64 so would like to try it in the 9.3.
The ADI Site lists 2209 but refers to a 24" barrel with a 1:10 twist 64Grs starting weight using a 286 Nos Part.
Mine is a 20.5" barrel with a 1:14 twist and will be trying 286 Hornady Interlocks.
Whats your thoughts on powder starting weight?
I use 2209 in my Husky
barrel three inches longer though Fireflite
use 65.3gr of 2209 in a Laupa case for around 2340Fps but the case is really full and I've bought a long drop funnel to get it in so the bullet will seat to my satisfaction.
I've persevered with this 2209 as
1- I have heaps and 2 - it is rather accurate in my rifle
however, if it continues to annoy me I'll switch to 2208 and see what I get there
Perhaps another brand of case may be able to fit more 09 in.
I started at 62gn without any problems @3.27"
Sorry edit to add using 286g Hornady interlock as well as a 0.37 comparator now for 2.627"
2340 speed may be optimistic , the Shooting chrony chrony must have been having a generous day. seem to be averaging just over 2260 with the magneto speed
@jakewire what bullet are you using?
Just edited my post as yours came in as I realized I hadn't said.
Same bullet
Hornady 286gr SP-RP interlock
I'm using 56gr 2208 with 286gr Prvi getting about 2250fps from 24" barrel. Apparently BLC-(2) is the best powder for velocity.
Where do you get that from Stug, I could google it I suppose, not something I've come across, BLC- (2) I mean
I will give 61gn a start as ADI recommend a start of 64gn.
Harvey recommended a start of 64 as well but I was having trouble fitting it in so wondered if it was a misprint and went way back just incase
he also says 67 will give 2410fps but there ain't no way I'm fitting 67grs of 2209 in my cases.
I'm not sure but I wasn't game to try his heavier ones.
I'd do exactly what you are thinking of doing, go from 61 and see.
Powder's cheap, eyesight gets expensive rather quickly.
Here is the BLC-2 data Forums.NitroExpress.com

Damn.
Another good 9.3x62 reloading thread, also some other links in it
Forums.NitroExpress.com
Doesn't matter I'll google it, cheers for that.
Here is some
You can easily extrapolate from Hodgdon's data.
They list for BLC2:
I use BLC2 in my own 9.3x62 it delivers higher speeds than Hodgdon's data shows. Hodgdon shows the same data for the 270gr., but also lists lighter bullets in the .376 Steyr cgt.with BLC2. The Steyr has a slightly larger case than the 9.3x62- by a couple gr.
I'm sure you can safely start at 64.0gr. and go from there, as pressure signs indicate.
The lighter bullet should give the same speed as the heavier one, with the same load. A chronograph is necessary when developing your own data.
Hodgdon's listed Data - EVERYONE needs to purchase this Annual Manual. This data is from their 2004 manual.
270gr. Speer -
starting load 60.0gr. - 2,338fps at 39,600CUP
maximum load- 66.0gr. - 2,548fps at 47,400CUP
@Fireflite here is some CZ FS specific data 9.3x62 and re-loads - Graybeard Outdoors
Hi dakota elk slayer,
The lightest bullet I have used is 270 gr. However I have gotten good result using fed. 215 primers in a
20" barrel. With a 250 gr. bullet in a 20" barrel, I would use a faster powder, H-4895, H-322, imr-4320,
or rl-12. I have gotten high velosity with Blc-2. With 62.5 grs. of Blc-2, using a 286 gr. bullet I get
2350 fps with a 20" barrel. With the CZ550 there is room to seat the bullet further out than 3.280.
The barnes 250 gr. tsx is long and would work well, I'm going to try it next, also I like the swift 250 gr.
swift bullet I'm also getting 2500 fps. apx. with 270 gr. speer bullet using 67 grs. of Blc-2.
Thank you Stug.
Jakewire, here is sum load data.
including lots hodgdon powder options.

I know this thread is about 9.3 x 62... but as many on this thread are big bore fans... in Hunting and fishing hamilton 3 days ago there is/was a 577 snider for sale ,$700 from memory. Second hand of course but doesnt look too bad. Black powder.
If anyone was keen i could take some pics or grab it for them.
